    News from the Principal

    News from the Principal News for parents, carers, pupils, students of the Academy and the community of Paignton April 2013 Amazing Season For TUFC Development As Programme Draws To Close The Academy’s Torquay United Football Development Programme is enjoying the most successful season since the link was forged in 2007, with the squad on the verge of accomplishing an unprecedented ‘treble’. Already crowned South West College’s Champions, the squad requires just one point from their remaining two league games to clinch the British College’s Sport South West League title. The squad are all members of the 6th Form made up of made up from a combination of locally sourced players, in conjunction with players acquired from across the entire nation. They have bonded superbly and produced some fantastic performances which has seen them claim some notable victories against South Devon College, Ivybridge Community College and even current ‘League 1A’ Champions Merchants’ Sports Academy from Bristol who were defeated by an amazing 7 – 3 margin in the recent South West Area Cup Final. In pursuit of their third piece of silverware, the U18s Devon County Cup, Paignton must overcome Plymouth’s Plymstock School. The current squad have developed massively under the expert coaching of Nick Milton and have also benefitted from the input of former Premier League custodian Robbie Herrera. Players who impress are given the opportunity to train and in some cases play for Torquay United’s Youth Apprentices and even senior reserve squads. 2009 graduate Saul Halpin went all the way and became the initiative’s first full professional player.
